Swiss Almond Dip

DSC_4420
This creamy, cheesy, nutty dip is a Holiday favorite with my family. We usually eat it on Christmas Eve after church. My Mom gets credit for this recipe in our family cookbook, but I recently learned it is originally from her dear friend Barb.  This dip is perfect for your New Years' Eve parties because you can make it ahead and then just pop it in the oven when you are ready to eat. It saves well too, so if there happens to be any leftovers you can reheat it the next day.
